The Complete Brake Friction Range for Asian and European Makes and Models from Blue Print
Quality from the Start
Braking parts are safety-critical, as such quality is vital. To guarantee the continuous provision of high-quality components, Blue Print parts undergo sample analysis at each stage of the production process, controlling conformity and accuracy. This ensures that regulatory standards are met – or even exceeded – and that everything is being produced to the correct specification.
Testing, Testing
Each new brake part is put through brake dynamometer testing for noise and wear performance. Physical and chemical tests are carried out for hardness, shear strength and compressibility – meeting numerous ISO, SAE and JASO standards. Additional checks and tests are performed for brake fade, thermal conductivity and wear behaviour.
Approval
Each new part is required to be inspected and tested by a type approval authority with internationally recognised testing and certification. These independent testing companies check the new parts in accordance to the standards described in the ECE R90 regulations for shear strength, pressure, speed sensitivity and compressibility. Once approved, the testing company requests an approval number and a certificate from the governing body.

Consistent Quality:
As experts in the Independent Aftermarket, we know exactly what is important. Therefore, we work together with an exclusive selection of manufacturers who are also represented in the OE sector. All products go through a stringent, 3-stage inspection process – against the OE – to ensure that they meet the high bilstein group quality standards.
UN/ECE Regulation 90:
Our R90 compliance program is one of the most comprehensive in the European Aftermarket. This regulation is a minimum standard within the industry. However, we don’t just stop there. We check for additional criteria not covered by R90: noise, vibration, wear, pedal
